Consider this Part Two of our travel guides to the Nordic region. After a few weeks of venturing around (and eating my way through) Copenhagen<\/a>, I hopped on a train to Stockholm for another week of wandering as part of my solo trip for the year. I quickly fell in love with the Swedish capital\u2014strolling through the cobblestone streets and marveling at all the charm around me. Lucky for you, I compiled it all in this Stockholm city guide. <\/p>\n

While similar in many ways, Stockholm also felt entirely different from Copenhagen. The city was filled with beautiful spaces, incredible food, and amazing museums. I spent five days in Stockholm, and it was the perfect amount of time for a low-key long weekend. The below Stockholm city guide is based on my trip\u2014which a local friend helped me curate\u2014so you know it\u2019s packed with goodness. If you\u2019re heading to Sweden, consider this your go-to itinerary for a few days in Stockholm.<\/p>\n

Your Go-To Stockholm City Guide<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve organized this itinerary based on the type of place and things to do for an extra-long weekend. I would recommend grouping places based on neighborhoods and what sounds most interesting to you!<\/p>\n

From countless amazing foodie finds to beautiful neighborhoods perfect for shopping and exploring to gorgeous museums, there\u2019s something for everyone in this city.<\/p>\n

What to Know About Visiting Stockholm<\/h2>\n

When to Visit<\/h3>\n

I was in Stockholm during the off-season, and many of my days were very chilly and drizzly. While I still had a great time and enjoyed the quiet vibes of the city, many people have said how beautiful Stockholm is in the summer. (So beautiful, it might just be worth fending off the crowds\u2014but that\u2019s up to you to decide.)<\/p>\n

How to Get Around<\/h3>\n

Stockholm has an extensive metro system that can get you to most places. However, I ended up walking or taking the bus almost everywhere. It was convenient and easy to navigate. Be sure to download and use the SL app<\/a> for your ticket. <\/p>\n

Where to Stay: Stockholm Hotels<\/h2>\n

I spent my five days in Stockholm at Hotel Ruth. The hotel was super cute and just north of the city center. It also has the best breakfast buffet every morning\u2014perfect for a longer stay. One of my local friends also recommended the Sparrow Hotel, which is closer to the city center if you prefer the location.<\/p>\n

Best Coffee Shops<\/h2>\n

There are lots of great spots to pick up a coffee while in the city. Drop Coffee was my favorite, but keep in mind that many shops are smaller and not great for setting up with a laptop. So pop in for a morning coffee to go while you\u2019re out exploring.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true, you must try all the cardamom buns and semla while in Stockholm. For a morning accompaniment to your coffee or as part of your afternoon fika experience, there are tons of bakeries to choose from. These are a few of my favorites from my visit.<\/p>\n
